I just don't see the need.

Genuinely made me feel sad and disgusted.

I buy my meat locally from suppliers I know and I pay more for it. I don't buy meat from the supermarket. To a certain extent you have to trust the people you're buying from, so I don't feel the need to follow an animal from birth to death. I make an effort though. If more people did, animal welfare would be a higher priority.

Hunting an endangered species for fun or profit isn't the same thing.

I didn't say it was the same thing: you brought the meat being humanely reared and slaughtered into the equation because I mentioned about you killing something you weren't going to eat. I understand perfectly what you mean, but putting your trust in what you believe is happening - is not the same as being absolutely assured 100%. It's digressing somewhat.

If it was my wee moggy - that would be a different story altogether: but that's not the dilemma.

You know what, let the hunter do what he likes, I'm too exhausted to continue this. I was just trying to be a bit light about the humane thing and equating it to the fact I buy humanely reared and killed meat, but I acknowledge that because I can't monitor it from birth to death, it's probably been abused in some horrible way before I buy it.

Nah. Let him do his thing tbh.


Chances are a Hunter will kill you easier than you kill him, so good luck lads.

I know what you were getting at. Given that it was a moral dilemma, all I was doing was looking at it from other angles.

We've all got our reasons - that doesn't mean one is wrong and the other is wrong: it's simply an alternative view. Nothing more.

Catch him in a bear trap then set some hungry hounds on him and then cut his donga off as they are medicinal in China!!! that should make him dance!!then maybe skin him,might make a good rug.

I'd poke him in the eyeball and then slap him in the face with a fish

The very important question is; would you give his eyeballs to Visage for his eyeball avatar collection!

:laugh:
